Chapter :The Genesis
"Everyone has that moment I
think, the moment when
something so momentous
happens that it rips your very
being into small pieces. And then
you have to stop. For a long time,
you gather your pieces. And it
takes such a very long time, not to
fit them back together, but to
assemble them in a new way, not
necessarily a better way. More, a
way you can live with until you
know for certain that this piece
should go there, and that one
there.

Blue
Fifteen years back...
Seriously, how could have I been so imprudent with the eerie emotions swirling inside me , that too completely brainless.
Wasn't I the one who was humoring myself not to be all girly and cuddling type.....yet here I stood stupefied before the terrifying man.It was really silly of me to find myself in this state....a rambling mess to be exact.
As I stood bantering the rubbish, he listened patiently like a counsellor with his turquoise eyes flickering now and then like the stars.Throughout the entire session we stood over the cobblestone path that lead to the cemetery.....to the burial ground of the departed,fallen souls.
Thus when I stopped to explain my freakish reasoning as to why I had started to respect him..... like him....develop a crush on him .....the sunset had already got inaugurated with streaming kaleidoscopic lights diffusing every corner of nature.
As I exhaled watching the sun to set,I gazed up to find him looking amused and ethereal...but what perplexed me more was he was grinning as if he saw a joker....ahh..,what a world-class prick.
Startling me,he ruffled my hair ,bashing me once, he adapted a serious monotone and grumbled,"It's just your infatuation kiddo, better get over it for there is a long way ahead of you and you can't be distracted and irrational for an elder like me."
"And no I don't accept nor reciprocate your feelings so better clear the clutter of your dumb heart....and focus on your career. Not all get this opportunity and not all are as virtuous as you perceive us to be."
Saying this, he turned back to settle over the bench,patting the space next to him.Following his cue, I flopped my wretched soul beside him,and as I did so he took my hands in his,grasping it with a certainty and silent promise.
Frankly I was confused by his thoughtful gesture....with my revolting heart pummelling hysterically...still the God had to shatter the moment of tranquillity, as he muttered few words that made me unravel...
"Never quit Pige,....always fight back,stand tall and be brave ...face the devils valiantly like the Valkyries....and do preserve your conscience.....and never ever kneel before anyone except one you acknowledge to be your equal."
So simple yet so deep and introspective ...
Ahhh...now I am really gone....dammit.

E.H.
On weekly basis we would meet to complete the paperworks at the consultancy headquarters.
But few days back as we sauntered to the nearby cafe,we discovered a concealed side gate of a necropolis.
It was quite remarkable for the first impression,because the place though abandoned was well maintained by the grumpy old caretaker.
Really it was a terrific discovery....an entire city of dead and deceased.... Thus from that day forth,it became our private patch...
And perhaps you can imagine what was I enduring while the girl (on whom I obsessed over) rambled her feelings unflinchingly.....that too expressing her affection for me ....a senior.....
Ahhh,had the world ended and did I just went to the heaven....
I felt blissful but conflicted as well because I can't just drag Blue into my Tartarus. She had gone through enough suffering to last a century though she never shared any of those but which I postulated.I had ached long to have her reciprocate my love....but it's wrong.....it would be malefic....
Her sentiment had drizzled upon me like the breeze of euphoria .....similar to fresh blooms of spring and soothing aroma of autumn....and it seemed as though finally I get to see the Northern Lights,with the Almighty being graceful to me.....Ultimately I get the glimpse of dazzling light at the end of my murky prison....
" What should I say?",I contemplated with myself.Since I knew though Blue is sensible and mature, it might be her lust or infatuation only....I pondered further.
Nonetheless shushing my rebelling heart, I patted her head and grabbed her soft hands to stammer the words that kept me alive,animate.
But what I didn't prattle was,".....I will wait for you ,Blue until you and I are both worthy of each other,and together we will start a new adventure...till the very end of horizon...."
And with this parting words, we both sighed, enjoying the company and the vibrant sunset..
Hence life truly is dynamic and sacrificing....
